I believe the ring allows the bolts to fit.

By Dave Shoe - 02/17/2002 12:39:03 PM; IP 216.243.158.183

Apparently, Ford uses this ring to assure proper thread engagement of the flywheel bolts. Not enough thread engagement and you may strip the crank. Too much and the bolt tip will press against the block and really foul things up.

I believe there is one factory 352 application which Ford's master parts manual claimes uses a stack of three of these rings.

The ring would logically seem to provide a stress-relief function, but I've seen enough "factory stock" engines which don't use the ring
9and the flexplate looks great) that I suspect the spacer ring may not be necessary for reliability.

JMO,
Shoe.
